Read about the
experiences and benefits that our students gain from practising the Tai
Chi Bang.
The Hun Yuan
system has come from a living legend, Grandmaster Feng Zhi Qiang (1928- ),
one of China’s great Tai Chi masters. Many martial artists have challenged
him but he is still undefeated. The Hun Yuan method is a complete training
system which teaches the internal and external aspects of Tai Chi.
“Hun”
means mixed and “Yuan” means circle.
Hun Yuan refers to the movement of the
universe or the Tao which is the force behind all phenomena.
The Tai Chi
Bang (Stick),
which is a component of the Hun Yuan Tai Chi system, is a unique
method of training the joints and tendons. Originally, this training method
was passed on to only a select few. This practice is rare nowadays.
It is not widely known, even though it is a fast and efficient method for developing stronger and more
flexible muscles and joints.
Benefits from this Unique Training:
-
The Tai Chi Bang helps to prevent overuse
injuries as it strengthens the wrists, tendons and muscles.
-
It
develops hand, wrist and arm strength. If you notice that you are losing hand and arm strength in
performing daily tasks, such as, turning the tap, opening jars and bottles,
you will find a significant improvement after practising the Tai Chi Bang.
-
It teaches you to feel and integrate the back with arm
movements. You will experience this
immediately with the first set of movements.
-
It improves
coordination, internal power and one’s ability to apply
and escape from chin na which are joint locking techniques. It also
develops eagle claw power.
-
Practising the Tai Chi Bang regularly will
improve your power and Tai Chi skills without you even being aware of it.
The Tai Chi Bang is easy and fun to learn.
